Hey Greg, just a little correction next to my name...I'm a Wayne State student, not UM. :)

See Heidi, I always say I'm not really listening. Now you know it's true. Sorry 'bout that.

That's ok! I also told you I lived in Ann Arbor so it wouldn't be hard to make the connection the other way.

Greg--well, there's a topic here I wanted to listen to, but: In Firefox, I get the intro (ending with "talkshoe") followed by permaload, never going on to anything else.

IE7 won't even load the URL.

Apparently my PC agrees that I'm not a podcast person--even though I did manage to listen to one other episode.

Walt, I just tried the mp3 link with both Firefox and IE6. No problems with Firefox. Opened right away in a separate tab with Quicktime. IE6 was no better than your experience with IE7. Did you try the Flash player on the blog? It took a little while to buffer, but played smoothly for me from that point.
